I have Two SAMSUNG 32-inch Class LED Smart FHD TV 1080P.
They only have two HDMI Ports.
On each TV
1 port is an eARC is connected to a Yamaha SR C20A Soundbar.
On one TV the second port is connected to a BN550 HDMI Switch.
Connected to the BN550 Switch
- Apple TV 4K,
- Roku Ultra 4800,
- FireTV Stick 4K,
- Cable Box,
- UNASSIGNED.
For some reason there has been no sound to the Soundbar via HDMI.
I have need help figuring out why.
I swapped out every HDMI Cable.
I have bought a second BN550 & switched BN550 boxes–same problem.
I have switched Soundbars. Same.
Reset settings of TV. No difference.
I have even switched in the TV from Guest Room. Same Problem.
If I connect devices directly to the TV, I get sound via HDMI to Soundbar.
If I use Optical cable from TV to Soundbar I get sound.
Note: Yesterday I got an Certified 8K HDMI Cable and it worked… for a few hours.
So what’s left to do?
